It's exciting to be celebrating Year Two of producing this blog- so much has happened! After exactly two years of starting My Milk Toof in March 2009, the official published book is now released- Hooray! In addition, one of the huge highlights for me was the "Your Milk Toof" contest. Getting a chance to see everyone's talent and creativity was fantastic, and I hate to see it end. My plan is to leave the tumblr online as a community fan page which you all can continue to contribute to, whether it be your own Toof characters or just fan art. Please keep it coming- it's so wonderful for me to click on that site and be inspired.

I've said it before, and I can't say it enough- THANK YOU EVERYONE for your endless support and love for ickle and Lardee! Your sweet emails and comments mean the world to me.

UPDATE 3.6.11- The Your Milk Toof contest is now officially closed! Thank you all so much for your amazing entries- something tells me it will be very difficult for us to select winners. If you've submitted a Toof, please check the tumblr and make sure your image opens. If there is an error, please email me your pictures asap to:mymilktoof@gmail.com

Just wanted to remind everyone that there are only 5 more days to enter the YOUR MILK TOOF contest for a chance to win a signed book. There have been some very impressive submissions so far, and they're all just so inventive. Some have even gone so far as to write some hilarious stories! You can check them out HERE.

A couple quick troubleshooting notes for all submissions:

UPLOADING-You can upload images straight into tumblr. When you click in tumblr "Submit your TOOF!", make sure to change the option that says "Submit a text post" to "Submit a photo".

RESOLUTION- Make sure your image resolution is big enough to read. Once you submit an image, check back to the site when it's posted to make sure the image is clear. If it's not, please resubmit with a higher resolution image.

STORIES- If you plan on submitting a story with multiple images, please upload them in one single submission. DO NOT break up your story into several submissions.

The Story

When I was young, I placed my baby teeth under my pillow and when I woke up I'd find a shiny new quarter. But whatever happened to those little teeth? Where did they go? Would I ever see them again?

Many years later, a little tooth was standing at my door. First came ickle, a smart and inquisitive little toof with a suitcase full of books. Then came Lardee, a hungry fellow with a penchant for getting into trouble. Together these two milk teef keep me company in my cozy little apartment. Welcome home, my milk toof!
